Fitness, but make it sexy. Former fitness model and influencer, Sommer Ray embodies that phrase with her social media presence. With millions of followers across different platforms, she has taken her fitness obsession and turned it into a whole brand that includes all kinds of products and her own clothing label. You can even book her to be your own personal trainer, so you too can have a booty just like hers.
Here's everything you need to know about Sommer Ray.
She's a Virgo
This 23 year old was born on September 5, 1996.
She's all about fitness
All of her socials feature her workouts and fitness advice. And you get to see the results of all that hard work with all her IG selfies.
She used to be a bodybuilder
Sommer said in a YouTube Q&A that she was a bodybuilder from 16 to 18 years old. Her dad is also a bodybuilder and they used to work out together. And she told Your Morning that the first competition she ever did was with her mom.
She's a personal trainer on Fitplan
Since so many of us are still in quarantine, we might as well work out, right? Sommer partnered with the app Fitplan, where users get to lift weights with their fave fitness influencers.
She's not a fan of plastic surgery
Sommer credits hard work at the gym and a healthy lifestyle for her physique. "I just want to promote a healthy, natural lifestyle, she said in an interview with Forbes. "I’m really against plastic surgery and all that stuff."
She was bullied in high school because of her IG posts
Sommer has been taking booty pics for years and she told Cosmo that she dropped out of school because of it. "I was slu*t-shamed in a way — everyone from my hometown judged me," she said. "They didn’t understand when I posted pictures of my ass on Instagram, it was because I'd worked hard for it. It’s not a sexualized thing."
She may have dated Tayler Holder
It's unclear if or when Sommer and fellow TikTok star Tayler Holder started dating, but Tayler did post a TikTok back in May 2020 pretending to have a conversation with her.
And they were looking really cute and close on TikTok back in June.
But all of that may have ended in July 2020. Tayler was seen having lunch with fellow influencer Charly Jordan that same month and Sommer tweeted, "girl code doesn’t exist to some b*tches i swear."
Tayler seemingly tweeted in response that he shouldn't have to address his personal life on social media. "I hate the fact of how I have to address my person life on the internet," the tweet says. "And tell everyone my every movement but I am single. And I am aloud [sic] to have friends."
Charly also told Celebrity Livin that the lunch with Tayler was supposed to be a work lunch, but Sommer didn't see it that way. "No, I love Sommer," she said. "She's such a sweet girl. I think she just took the video out of context. That's it."
She sells way more than just merch
Sommer has a whole brand with her name attached that includes swimwear, exercise gear, jeans and more.

She also has her own subscription box. The Somethings Boxis Sommer's subscription box that Sommer curates every two months with fitness and beauty products and more. You can even buy products without a subscription.
She hopes to inspire other girls
“I want girls to know that I’m for them," she told Forbes. "I want to show them my personality and show them that I’m not just a dumb bimbo. Because that’s what you think. You see a girl on Instagram, showing her body, and it’s just substance less.” In fact, she says she started her YouTube channel to show off more of her personality. “I’m trying to get people to know me and know who I am. That’s why I started with YouTube,” she told Forbes.
